How far will this 2 lb go? How much is needed as a soil additive for a vegetable garden?

one pound of Azomite, for me, does a 4' x 12' raised bed. I just sprinkle it on and let the rain soak it into the soil. Very easy application. I have six raised beds and use 6 lbs of Azomite plus I use a powdered fertilizer I get from Gardens Alive. The azomite puts in the minerals and that's what makes fruits and veggies "sweet" tasting.

Not very far. You need appox. 4 cups of rock dust per cubic foot of soil. A cubic foot is 7.5 gallons. I hope this helps. Your on the right track.

1.5 cubic ft bag will probably fill 3+ . I use 5s and I can fill 2 +. And I add about 1 part perlite to 3 parts soil. Of course you can fill more with the perlite addition. Aerates the soil, for more oxygen flow, better drainage and keeps soil more "Fluffy". I dont know what you use it for, but FF soil is a little hot. So I add 1/2 cup of lime to soil mix. Especially if your plants like PH of 6.3 to 6.8.

This is intended to mix into you garden soil. However, I DID use it in containers [because the price was so good] but I mixed it half and half with potting soil and that has worked nicely.

The container is 5 pounds or 2.2 kg. Will last me an extrememely long time.

Depending on soil from 2 tablespoons to half a cup per gallon of water if soil is acid start with smaller amount if soil is alkaline increase dosage

I have owned this product since early spring and used it throughout the summer. A couple of weeks ago, I took out my spring/ summer plants and emptied it completely. Then, I put all new soil in so I could plant a mum and some pansies. In other words, this information is fresh in my mind. I bought a 2 cu ft bag of Miracle Grow's Garden Soil, and used ALMOST the entire bag. I had just enough left over to fill a couple of pots. So, my answer is that this requires a little less than 2 cu. ft. Hope that helps!

I found the answer on the internet, very easy to find. I did want to mention, be very careful not to overapply, it should be used very sparingly... don't assume that using a little extra will be better, it will burn up your plants.Also, dont get it on the foliage, and water it into the soil.

I think you can get about 1 1/2, 5 gallon pots with this. In all honesty, I'd look for a shop that sells the larger bags for less. I pay $6.99 for this size from a gardening shop down the street. Excellent soil, just not worth the shipping if you know how to mature your own soil. If you are interested in that, Google Dragonfly Earth Medicine for some of the best home soil conditioning advice ever!

I filled one bed with: 1bag miracle grow top soil (2cu ft), 1 bag peat moss (2cu ft), 2 bags composed cow manure (3/4 cu ft each), and 8 bags scots top soil (3/4 cu ft each). The frame was filled with 2-3 inches from the top (room to add nutrients next year). Also my beds were on a slight slope and had to be wedged up on the low side with bricks - slightly adding to the volume. Everything is growing really well. Hope this helps.

Soil composition moisture content, and your level of persistance will determine the ultimate answer. I have used mine for small flower beds, but would want a larger machine for a main vegitable garden. With all fairness, our area has only about one inch of top soil, with the rest being hard pan clay! Hope this helps.This is basically a very good cultivator rather than a main tiller.

I used 6 bags( 2 cubic feet each) of potting soil and 2 bags of composted steer manure. This doesn't actually answer your question but I hope it helps. The bag bed works great!

It was either 2 or 4 yards of top soil. Cost me $20 to go pick it up in my Chevrolet Truck. Since I remember the price, I believe it is going to be the 2 yards. I can look at the dimensions again and tell you for sure if you wish. I could have used a tad more, but I had a beautiful garden that I would be glad to send you pictures of. I was very impressed. I recently became disabled and my 23 year old daughter and I put it together in about 20 minutes or less just using my drill; drill bit to create starter holes where they don't have them and then flip to the Philips screwdriver head. It really was a breeze. I am not sure about separating it because it is made precisely for the look you see advertised. If you buy it, just to make things easier for you. Before you set the frame down where you will utilize it, put down the weed barrier black paper you can buy at Wal Mart or Lowes and you won't have to worry about any weeds. The only problem I had is the weather and the soil was so good my plants, from squash to tomatoes, to okra got really large and robbed each other of nutrients and kind of all grew together, but the production was still a success. Happy Gardening of Flowering!!

Hey there Mr. Bill J. I used this product to build container gardens and it worked great with a soil mix.

I don't know the exact weight but I have mine full to the top of the holes in front with potting soil and 3 medium size plants and water it well every week and have had no problem. Potting mixture would be lighter but I prefer soil.

Not sure if how many inches. But it was quite thick w a thick patch of soil as well. It was definitely healthy.

We bought the 8 oz. bottle and treated about 20 house plants with a little over 1/2 of the product.We would have not use for 4 lbs.
